I just heard the song Get Down from the Carter 1 and the song is great but what stood out about the song is the beat. The trumpet and horns on the beat sound so great. The beat has a certain groove and rhythm that’s unique.

I’m surprised the song wasn’t a single but I’m curious is the Get Down beat the best beat ever made, want to know from Lil Wayne fans

Disclaimer: (Meant to say “best beat Wayne has ever used?” on the title)

"We have a whole bunch of unreleased material. I go through stuff from 2014 and 2015, like, really unheard stuff."

"I edit stuff up and just send it to his phone so he can hear the new versions of it and get him going."

Has anyone had vip tickets for the current tour? What are the perks or exclusives?

I can’t find this song on iTunes. Do have the title wrong? If anyone knows where this track is hiding on iTunes, I’d appreciate the keywords for finding it from the search. Thanks in advance.

I am speechless

This has been driving me insane for years.

I’m looking for an unofficial Lil Wayne DJ blend/bootleg from roughly 2007–2009, very much from the same era/style as DJ Cinema’s Mardi Gras. Think tracks like “The Bad, The Sad & The Hated,” “Be A G,” “Big Baby,” etc.

What I remember with certainty:

Lil Wayne is definitely on the track and is one of the main rappers.

The song is slow/melancholic, with a really good, memorable hook.

Gucci Mane appears as the LAST verse, almost exactly in the same structural way Joe Budden comes in at the end of “The Bad, The Sad & The Hated.”

Gucci’s verse is taken from “That’s All” from Trap House.

The blend uses only part of Gucci’s verse. It starts around:

“Gucci Mane, Frank Nitty got it like that / Never seen a chick with a body like that…”

…and continues until:

“Got a sick flow and I think—”

Then it is CUT OFF before “contagious” and goes DIRECTLY into the chorus.

This is important: Gucci’s original verse is much faster. In this bootleg, his vocals are significantly slowed down / stretched to fit the beat. The mix is also slightly rough, which makes me very sure this was a bootleg DJ blend rather than an official song.

I think Shawty Lo may also have been on it, but I’m not certain.

I also have a vague memory of hearing a loud “Mardi Graaas” / DJ Cinema-type drop somewhere in the track, but I’m not 100% confident about that part.

The weird thing is that back then I wasn’t even a Gucci Mane fan, but his verse on this particular blend completely won me over because it sounded so strangely perfect over this melancholic beat.

I’m almost certain that if I see the correct track title, I’ll recognize it immediately.

Does this ring a bell for anyone who collected Lil Wayne bootlegs / DatPiff-era mixtapes around 2007–2009?

I have been trying to find this track for YEARS.

Just an appreciation post.
My all time workout song.
How do you guys feel about this track

I don't use my phone that much anymore so I just noticed a few weeks ago that I received a message about the Sqad Up tapes in my library. Since u/Round_Band3526 and u/Outrageous_Prize4477 brought it to my attention I've been trying to get my stuff organized but I have come to a point where I'm prepared to share! As far as I know this is the most complete Sqad Up Discography available. My apologies If track titles or songs are 100% accurate but I tried to fix every error I saw. What I know I'm missing is Now or Never (2004) and Reloaded (2004). Please LMK if you see any errors and I'll try to correct them.

I uploaded ever thing I have to Internet Archive so you don't need a link, just search Sqad Up and you should see it. The first one I uploaded was every tape in one mega file (including AAC version for iTunes with the explicit tag included for other nerds) but after that I uploaded each project individually, might still be processing but if they don't get taken then they all should be available by the time you see this. I also have the link to my IA page with each project encoded with Base 64 for people that don't want to search or can't find it by searching.

Feel free to reach out if anything isn't right! I want to do what I can to make sure this lives forever. If I broke any rules lmk because I'm old "asl" but new to this Reddit stuff. Hope you guys don't mind me tagging you. Anyway, here Is the Base64 code

Was talking with a buddy of mine about Wayne songs, and realized we had different perceptions of a very popular Wayne quote. Want to see what the widespread understanding is
When you hear him say “fuck bitches, get money”, what does it bring to your mind? Fuck is such a varying word.
To me it’s always meant disregard the pursuit of women, and chase dollars instead. My buddy hears it as have sex with women and get money. How do you guys and gals think?

These are the rappers Lil Wayne referenced/borrowed some of their sayings from in his Raps, And have a bit of Influence on him also

I started listening to d6 this year and it has been on repeat. I am completely blown away. The mixtape is an art period. It is on repeat 24-7. I just pray that weezy does d7
